Not sponsored, coffee machine was gifted for review. This review is my own words.
Anyone that knows me will know I’m a bigggggg coffee lover, as in, I pretty much need it to function on a day to day basis. I would spend at least $25 a week at the local coffee shop, and that’s a minimum, as usually I’m grabbing babycinos and maybe an almond croissant to go with, too. I had been trying to cut down the cost by making coffee at home in the morning, but it just never tasted as good (I had a pod machine). So I ended up grabbing another coffee from the coffee shop anyway. So when I was contacted to see if I’d like to review the Sunbeam Barista Max Espresso Machine, I jumped at the chance.
Previous to the email from the good people at Sunbeam, our pod machine bit the dust and we were looking into a machine that would take whole beans (or grounds), and thus save us money and also the waste from pods which was weighing on my mind. Plus I wanted to learn to make a nice coffee at home!
The Barista Max was on our list, so I was very keen to check it out. It comes with an integrated grinder which I really liked, as we have limited bench space. It retails at $699. Check it out here. And read on for my review!
